heck yeah GORILLAS.BAS was the first source code I ever saw and that’s how I taught myself QBasic, I still remember waking up at 2am because I realized how to solve the bug I was stuck on, all I had to do was move the line of code to the outside of the loop!

of course I couldn’t wait until morning but then I got in trouble because the keyboard was too loud

my game only had 5 levels so I proudly called it a “shareware demo”, I wonder if it’s still out there somewhere, etched onto the long abandoned platter



Heck yeah. There's a pretty decent chance it's still available somewhere. I can still find code I wrote almost 30 years ago for a tiny BBS software.
